Medical Records Access Request Form

Under the age of 11, parents/legal guardians may decide who has access to their child’s medical information under a DSAR. Beyond the age of 16, a person is legally presumed to have capacity to manage their own records and request a DSAR.

  • A child dependent on age and competency

  • Parents with parental responsibility

  • Guardians and court appointed individuals

  • Authorised third parties: Individuals with written permission from a competent child or from someone with parental responsibility (for example solicitors).

Key Considerations and Age Milestones for Children

  • 11-13 Years: Parent’s consent is usually sought if a child or other authorised individual applies for access to a DSAR

  • 13-16: A GP will assess the competency of a young person before allowing them or other authorised individuals access to a DSAR. If a young person is considered competent, parent/legal guardian consent is not required.
